The relatively new 100 Shoreditch hotel already has a top drawer bar in the basement in the shape of Ryan Chetiywardana/Mr Lyan's Seed Library. Now they're upping their game by bringing in North London legends Norman's Cafe to take care of the food.
As with the original cafe in Tufnell Park that's become a big hit, there's an extremely English caff feel to the menu, all given a bit of a brush-up. So on the new menu, you'll find:
- Cheese & onion toastie - Farmhouse cheddar and smoked English ham on thick white bread with caramelised onions
- Chip butty - Thick cut British chips in a potato bun
- English tomatoes - Bull’s Heart tomatoes served with extra virgin olive oil and sauvignon vinegar
- Tempura fried chicken nuggets served with Norman’s chilli sauce
- Smiley faces (apparently a Seed Library favourite) which are potato smilies served with red sauce
- Syrup sponge & custard - Freshly baked English sponge served with traditional vanilla custard
All that and whipped cod’s roe with Frazzles - a dish that is certainly speaking to us. Those are all backed up with cocktails from Seed Library like Crabapple gold rush, Chive daiquiri and a Coriander seed gimlet.
Norman's will be there for eight weeks - so get down there fast for your cod's roe/Frazzles fix.
